Call for Participation in User Research

Freedom of the Press Foundation is inviting all users of SecureDrop — past and present — to participate in remote user research interviews. We want to better understand your digital security practices and privacy needs, especially when communicating with sensitive sources.

We're interested in speaking with journalists, editors, administrators, security experts, and IT professionals who have used SecureDrop in a professional setting. Insights from this study will directly impact the ongoing development of the next generation of SecureDrop.

Interviews will typically last between 45 and 60 minutes and will be conducted on Signal, or on a secure platform of your choice. The audio of the interviews will be recorded solely for note taking purposes, unless you indicate otherwise, and your information will remain completely confidential.

If you would like to participate in this study or in future studies, please fill out the form below, and we will be in touch with you. For any questions, please email ux@freedom.press.
